20th Century Fox

The media giant hopes to outbid Disney for the rights to the historic movie and television studios.

There’s still a great deal to sort out as Disney swallows 21st Century Fox whole, but the TV networks themselves may only get a “New” tweak. Network bosses assure that the major FOX stations will continue “business as usual” after the deal closes, while also offering updates on The Gifted, Prison Break and more.

CEO Bob Iger says that he intends to keep running with certain ongoing series, even the R-rated ones.

After numerous reports, Disney has finally acquired most of 20th Century Fox in a deal that will massively reshape the entertainment industry.

Remember that rumor that Disney was in talks to buy a bunch of film and TV properties from Fox? Apparently the deal is heating up again.

Could the X-Men finally be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe? CNBC dropped quite the scoop on Monday afternoon, revealing Disney may be gobbling up the majority of 20th Century Fox. The new report from CNBC reveals 20th Century Fox has been holding talks over selling portions of the company to Disney...

In Hollywood’s race to reboot, remake, and just generally fix every one of its disappointing superhero franchises, the one nut studios haven’t been able to crack is the Fantastic Four. We’re now three movies and two unique cinematic universes into that particular franchise, and none of them have lived up to the potential of their iconic characters. So when it was announced a few months ago that 20th Century Fox would be angling for a more kid-friendly reboot of the Fantastic Four, people figured, sure, why not. I mean, it’s not like they’re going to muck up these movies any worse.

Are you familiar with a ‘sunk cost’ concept? That’s when a business allocates resources to get a project or product off the ground only to see it struggle to deliver; instead of treating that seed money as an expense they’ve written off and will never recover - a ‘sunk cost’ - the company continues to throw good money after bad in a vain hope of eventually recouping its financial losses. You see this happen in Hollywood every now and then, where a studio spends millions of dollars to market a movie it knows is probably going to fail. Or, in the case of a film like Gambit, a studio keeps hiring people to write or rewrite the film despite zero evidence it’ll actually get made.

For the past 30 years, Mega Man has been a staple of the video game community. In all that time, he’s only had a handful of appearances outside of a gaming console. Since the early ’90s, most fans of the Blue Bomber have had only his short-lived (and very bad) animated show and co-starring gig on the Captain N animated series (also very bad) to “enjoy.” In 2015 however, news of a live-action film starring Capcom’s resident robot hero got our hopes up. Barely anything has been heard about that feature since, but today it appears Mega Man may have found its directors.

Over the last six years, NECA's been busy releasing as many Predator action figures as humanly possible, and is coming up on its 18th wave based on the franchise. There have been several different versions of the Jungle Hunter Predator in those assortments, but to commemorate the pearl anniversary, the company has released a special "ultimate" edition of the OG Predator. Complete with multiple portraits, hands, and accessories, NECA's latest Jungle Hunter is the kind of figure fans of the series have deserved since 1987.
